Running a Lotus 240 now.

I'll PM Tomia. How much is the track day pass and how much is the car and driver pass? Can I get the car and driver pass from you on the day Jas?

Prefer to run with you guys because usually no muppets going around the track like on other sessions.

See shows section post for how to book on.

It's great fun but will do what I did with the Megane. Take it easy and go at my own pace.

 

See shows section post for how to book on.

 

Understood. Will pay for club stand at the gate. Waiting to hear back from Tomia. 

[devonutopia]

No, you need a car and driver pass from me. On the gate won't work

[devonutopia]

Everything posted out at lunchtime.  I hope the vast majority falls through letterboxes tomorrow.

[vRS19TD]

Got mine today.

[fabianski47vrs]

Me too.

Just 1 question..what time do we have to be there by?

[Dark_Hero]

Gates open at 8 if I remember correctly and it gets really busy by 8.30 - 9 so long as your there In Time to do the noise test and attend the briefing then you'll be ok.

[devonutopia]

I think gates open at 7, but to be honest, as long as you are in by the first track session I don't really give two s***s    

[vRS19TD]

Need to allow yourself time for sound check and driver briefing, otherwise you've got to run/walk very quickly to get your car, like me last year.

[Jabozuma]

Jason, thank you for organising, got the tickets yesterday, top job!

So, what is the the latest I need to be there to avoid entertaining you with my best headless chicken impression? 9am would be OK at the gate for the first session?

Right my passes have now gone to Reavenger :-) so no longer up for grabs.

[devonutopia]

First session not until 10.45am.  This gives plenty of time to take in one of the regular briefings and get the car noise tested.   Ideally you want to briefed and tested by 10am.

Early is best. Less chance for the day to be disrupted by teenagers stuffing their car into the tyres at Camp Corner...

Quarry is the usual "slayer" of said teenagers.

I seem to remember seeing a vid from last year's brisky combe session where some young 'un with his girlfriend in passenger seat went off big time

Must have been in September because i don't think anyone went off there in April last year. I know Korban went off further round at Old Paddock Bend/Hammerdown.

[devonutopia]

There's a passenger seat going in the mongrel.  You just need a helmet and pay £5 to Combe on the day.

 

After reviewing the weather, I am going to be doing both sessions on my road tyres, and taking it pretty steadily.  I'll save my track aggression for "How fast?" 

 

I may yet decide to "sod it" and just fit the Federals and drive up there and back on them....

[Jabozuma]

That is what I will be doing, RS-R's to and from Even if it is wet! more fun

[hardcorehobbit]

Is the forecast for rain then? I've not seen a forecast.

[vRS19TD]

@Devonutopia Are you only doing the x2 Briskoda sessions??

[devonutopia]

@Devonutopia Are you only doing the x2 Briskoda sessions??

Yes, and given weather outlook sort of glad I am too.

They had to rebuild Camp Corner for 2 hours after that.
